As I do three or four times a year I went on a vacation to Mexico this month. Mazatlan to be specific. Normally, I have a great time when I go there, no matter what city we end up in. The people mostly are amiable. The food is excellent. And it's a lot of fun hanging out on the beach and driving into the countryside and enjoying the greenery - something we don't see much of here in Arizona at this of year.
But this year was different, and we didn't have a very good time at all. And that's because the airline lost my suitcase. So,"What's the big deal? A lost suitcase? But there was more in the suitcase than clothing and toiletries. There was also about five different medications my doctor prescribes me, medications I wasn't sure I could obtain in Mazatlan. Plus, I had no toiletries nor changes of clothing.
Now I know that these are things one can purchase. But, when you haven't been to a city for a while you don't always know where to find everything you need. And that was the case for us. We had to do a bit of searching before we could locate a druggist. Then more searching before we could find a doctor to write prescriptions.
All in all it was a frustrating experience - one I don't plan to have in the near future.
Plus I got off my three-day schedule with my blog - which irritated me as much as anything.
